Steven Ralph Arrington (born March 5, 1956) is a singer, songwriter, drummer, record producer, engineer, and minister, who grew up in Dayton. He played in various local bands before joining and touring with The Murphys, a lounge band out of Toledo in 1975. He relocated from Ohio to San Francisco, where he learned Latin percussion and drumming as well as playing with Coke Escovedo, Pete Escovedo, and Sheila E. He joined the funk group Slave on their third LP, called The Concept, in 1978 – originally to play percussion, becoming the drummer and a backing vocalist. He took over lead vocals, singing on the hit singles "Just a Touch of Love", "Watching You" and "Wait for Me". He left Slave in 1982, forming Steve Arrington's Hall of Fame, and had hit singles such as "Weak at the Knees" and "Nobody Can Be You But You". His most successful album was his 1985 solo work Dancin' in the Key of Life, whose title track became a top ten R&B hit. The single spent three weeks at #2 on the dance charts and went to #3 on the Radio & Records R&B airplay chart. "Feel So Real" reached #5 on the UK Singles Chart in May of that year. He was nominated for the NAACP Image Award for Best Male Artist of 1986. He experienced a religious conversion, becoming a licensed minister and, he left pop music until his re-emergence in October 2009, when he released the R&B, Funk, spiritual album, Pure Thang. On August 6, 2013, Stones Throw Records released Arrington + Dam-Funk's "Higher". On September 18, 2020, Stones Throw Records released a new solo album by him titled Down to the Lowest Terms: The Soul Sessions with the single "Keep Dreamin'". The album recording took place in 2019–2020 in collaboration with a cast of a new generation of talented producers orchestrated with the help of Stones Throw founder Peanut Butter Wolf. Producers include DJ Harrison, Knxwledge, J Rocc, Shibo, Jerry Paper, Brian Ellis, Gifted & Blessed, and Benedek. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence https://www.instagram.com/p/CpaHQ6eLlJ0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Music That Saved The Kid This Year pt. 3

Another round of music from this year that helped me make it through. Check it out, and buy you some if it moves you. Previous parts:

Part 1

Part 2

Curren$y & The Alchemist - Continuance (Physical Copies available at Empire or ALC Records: CD or Cassette)

Mejiwahn - Beanna (Bandcamp)

They Hate Change - Finally, New (Bandcamp/Secretly store)

Sharon Van Etten - We've Been Going About This All Wrong (Bandcamp/Secretly store)

Body Farm - Living Hell (Bandcamp)

Since I can't find a video, have their set from Hate5Six since it's how I found out about them in the first place. Skip to 9:02 for a delightful bit of crowd work.

Sam Gendel & Antonia Cytrynowicz - Live A Little (Bandcamp)

Bonus: A mini-doc on Sam and Antonia's working process (Antonia is the younger sibling of Sam's partner.)

J. Rocc - A Wonderful Letter (Bandcamp/Stones Throw store)

Wiki & Subjxct 5 - Cold Cuts (Bandcamp)

Automatic - Excess (Bandcamp/Stones Throw store)

Stik Figa & August Fanon - Heresy (Bandcamp)

I think that'll do it. There's other stuff I listened to that maybe didn't hang out in my brain the way it did, but will probably find purchase later on (I listened to Soccer Mommy's album Color Theory a ton this year, for example), or stuff that I like a lot but got released way too late for me to give it a fair evaluation (Quelle Chris and Cavalier released an EP last week that's magnificent).

If I change my mind, of course, look out for part 4.
